Question

Dipti was asked to prepare three
separate mixtures in three beakers
A,B,C by mixing sugar fine sand and
starch respectively in water and then
categories each as stable or
unstable. Correct categorization
would be:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sugar (stable), fine sand (unstable), thin paste of starch (stable) and chalk powder (unstable).

Answer 2

Answer:

As given Dipti has prepared three separate mixtures in three beakers.

So accordingly,

If beaker A contains sugar then the mixture would be stable.

If beaker B contains fine sand then the mixture would be unstable.

If beaker C contains starch then the mixture would be stable.

A stable mixture is defined as a mixture in which solute particles do not settle. Basically, in a stable mixture particles remain individual. For example, salt in water is a stable mixture. On the other hand, an unstable mixture is defined as a mixture in which solute particles settle or coagulate into the solvent. For example, sand in water is an unstable mixture.
